BECAUSE I understand it more now, I’m left feeling VERY uncomfortable about my data security.

I wonder if IPFS would be better suited for the fediverse for this reason? You've brought up some solid points here and if history is anything to go by, it's likely already seeing some exploitation in the wild. I think there's likely to be a lot of work needed here. For example: Your cookies store JWTs in base85. Nice!
